The capital punishment debate took a new turn when the Supreme Court said that it will rationalise the sentencing process. What ails the judgment process? Why is the death sentence a dilemma for the judges?

The Allahabad High Court has acquitted all the convicts in a Mathura triple murder case including one who had been awarded the death penalty. The Court expressed anguish with the "shoddy" manner in which the investigation was done.

The court said that death puts an end to the concept of repentance and it cannot be said that the accused deserved only the death penalty.

For those advocating against capital punishment, yet another state in the US has joined the list to abolish the death penalty.
